I would try to use a good pressure washer. Im sure they didnt sand your van before spraying it so the paint may jst blow right off with the pressure. You can also try the alcohol that may work. If that doesnt work, a little gas on a rag will surely take it off. It shouldnt hurt the original paint on your van either. Dont let it soak in for a long time, but it should work better than the other ideas above, and you can do it yourself.

Goof-Off on a rag would do it. Go to a hardware store and look in the paint section, if the spray paint is not that old, and your cars paint in good shape, it should come off, but wax it RIGHT after doing it. And dont let the Goof-Off be on there very long

it depends on how u want 2 get it off u could use paint thinner but then u will have 2 repaint your van or u could just go and get a can of grease killers and it'll take the spray paint right off.

Buffing compound, but do it by hand, if you dont know how to use a buffer, using a buffer without knowledge will burn paint, also, if they used a cheap paint, sometimes a thinner will remove without damaging old paint , but try in a small spot first

Depending on the colour, it might be best to paint over it. But that will probably mean paying for an entire panel to be re-done. Another alternative would be to find out who did it, and use their scalp as a brush.

don't listen to the 8 above.
theres a technique in body work called wet sanding. itll work for your car only if you have clear coat over the original paint scheme. since someone painted over the clear coat (if its there) then you can remove the paint over it eaily, since its not bonded to anything. get really fine grit paper, say 1000 grit, and get a hose and sanding block. start pouring water over the area, and sand slowly carefully, and always keep it wet, pour water continuously over it. if you have no clearcoat on your car, you can wet sand down to the primer and you can touch spray over. if youre going to do this, be really careful. it takes years to get good at body work, but a decent job can be done with good effort.

you need some light rubbing compound, like G3 then just gently use it on the area thats got the paint on it will cut in to the paint and remove it, then use some polish on the whle panel and it will be fine

You might try some good quality hand cleaner if the paint hasn't been on very long.

Lacquer thinners will take it off. You'll need to wax the paint after too.
